WHAT Do WE OWE TO INvENTIoNs?-The
extent to which mankind is indebted to
few OF its members for many of the conven-
fences and comforts il possesses is hardly
appreciated, even by thinking people. Every
labor-saving machine or device invented
reduces the price of some necessity or
luxury of life, and so in time luXuries be-
come necessities by being placed within the
reach of persons of moderate means and
thus it is that the homes of the mass of the
people to-day have more of comfort and ele-
gance than could be found in those of the
wealthy few generations back. Princely
fortunes have been reaped by many invent
ors; but it is too often the case that the man
from whose active brain is evolved an arti-
Gle of genuine merit fails in obtaining IA just
return for his ingenuity, even though the
patent laws of our country are held to be
among The most liberal in the world The
only safe method to be observed is for the
inventor to secure the services of a reliable
and experienced solicitor to aid him in Sc
curing his patent-one competent to judge
of the merits and patentability of his in
vention, conversant with the routine and
details of the patent office, and whose past
success gives guarantee for all business
that may be intrusted TO his care. AS such
a one we gladly commend Mr.. Il, H. Eddy
of rs State street, Boston, TO all. His card

Mrs. Parsons on Deck,

CHICAGO, July Is. At a picnic of the
International Brewers and Masters
union, at Ogden's grove, yesterday, Mrs.
Lucy Parsons, the wife of the con-
demned anarchist, took possession of a
refreshment stand near the center Of
the grounds and proceeded to solicit
purchasers for the photographs OF
her husband and his colleague,
Spies. She also had for sale a num-
Der OF copies of Spies biography,
written by his proxy wife, Miss Van
Zandt. A. large crowd soon gathered
around her and the officers of the union,
who are conservatives. endeavored to
induce Mrs. Parsons to withdraw from
the grounds, as they did not wish by al
lowing her TO vend her wares to identify
themselves with the anarchist and bring
the union into disrepute. Mrs. Parsons
however refused to acceed to their
request, claiming she had a right to be
there and sell books and pictures for the
benefit of the relief fund. A number of
members of the union espOused Mrs.
Parsons cause and the president, Vim.
Hoppe, said il she did not go he would
resign. At this moment some one In
the crowd shouted to Mrs, Parsons that
there were number of "hy
cops" watching her and that
she had better be careful. This
seemed to enrage the woman
and she launched into a TRADE against
police, saying it was pity that Inspeo-
tor BOnfield and all his men did not die
In the Haymarket square, One of the
detectives present now stepped up and
told her TO leave the grounds. She re-

age to do likewise you had best

While she was talking detective

asked his captain for instructions. He
was told to not modest Mrs. Parsons, as
long as she refrained from speech max
ing, and SO the matter was dropped. A
heavy rain, which came up soon after,
compelled the female anarchist to do
what the union had been unable to make
her do-pack up and leave,

Country Dry-A Bold Thief-The Jolly
Twelve Have Dance.
From Our Special Correspondent.
UvALDE, Texas, July lG.
The country here is sadly In need OF
rain again, and unless we have some
soon the stock will fare as badly this
year as it did last. In some places, more
especially in the country south OF the
Sabinal canyon, the cattle are actually
dying of starvation, but all cattle north
of the railroad line are looking well.
There is, too, still abundance OF hay Cd
the prairies within few miles OF Uvalde,
and Messrs. Devett, Joe Clark aud &
eOlored gentleman are cutting for mar
ket.
One of the most bare-faced robberies
took place only few days ago. j. X.
Mcdaniel, quite boy, went out to the
Nussle ranch, telling the herder he had
orders from the manager, Mr.. A. W.
Reid, to cut out MIR. VIM. Sandmur's
goats from the Muscle flock. in which
they were running. The herder, not
thinking anything wrong, allowed him
to do so, and he coolly drove them to
town in open day and sold them to the
butcher Mr.. Sandmur's son, who, by
the way, has been very Ill with fever for
some time, happened to be still H.
Uvalde, and hearing OF said sale and
recognizing the goats, naturally had
Mcdaniel arrested. His bond, which
was fixed at $500, he was unable to pro-
cure, so he still languishes In the county
jail to await his trial in the district
court.
Last night the jolly Twelve had an
other of their dances at the operS-house,
same being well attended and evidently
enjoyed by all present. X.

load of hogs for $50, and Coonrad saw
him draw the money. The two men
started home together and two hours
later Sullen's body was found lying by
the roadside, about two miles west of

rad. The sheriff went to his house
where he found his wife washing blood
stains out Of his shirt. Mrs. Sullen, who

The Dynamite Argument.

MARION, Ind, July lS.-The building
occupied by Ira j. Smith, as saloon,
which he just opened In the town OF
Fairmount,was completely destroyed by
dynamite last night. Several adjoining
buildings were also ruined. This was
the result OF determination on the part
of the people of Paramount to exclude
liquor traffic from the town. This
quaker population has never permitted
any saloon to start here.

Taxable property in New York ci

Taxable property in New York city
Increased over $50, OO0 900 in assessed
valuation last year, and now amounts to
81 800, 100000. Tho increase in value of
real estate is $5.O00,000, but this Is not
all what Henry George would call ''un-
earned increment" The greater part
of the added value comes from new
buildings, which, under the new theory,
would be wholly exempt from taxation.
Nearly one-half of the increase in value
Is reported from the twelfth ward-the
extreme northern section of Manhattan
Island-which Is most rapidly growing,
because 1t contains the largest amount
of cheap land recently brought into
market by an extension of railroad
facilities.
